• Believing, Bonding, Behaving, and Belonging: The Cognitive, Emotional, Moral, and Social Dimensions of Religiousness across Cultures (2020, background): “Indeed, the meaning-making process is made intratextually (Hood et al., 2005), religious experience is marked by fear and hate (Strozier et al., 2010), self-control-oriented norms are preferred over prosocial values (Johnson et al., 2016), and ingroup favoritism often results in outgroup derogation…”
• The Intratextual Fundamentalism Scale: cross-cultural application, validity evidence, and relationship with religious orientation and the Big 5 factor markers1 (2010, background): “They also find in religion a framework that provides meaning for existence and purpose in life (Hood et al., 2005).”
• Religiosity as Identity: Toward an Understanding of Religion From a Social Identity Perspective (2010, background): “Yet, paradoxically, the expanding out-group increasingly threatens the fundamentalist in-group, thereby exaggerating the enhancement of positive group distinctiveness, esteem, and moral certainty (Branscombe et al., 1999; Graham & Haidt, 2009; Herriot, 2007; Hood et al., 2005; Rogers et al., 2007).”
• Does peace have a prayer? The effect of mortality salience, compassionate values, and religious fundamentalism on hostility toward out-groups (2009, background): “Hood et al. (2005) described religious fundamentalism as a religious meaning system that centers on the absolute authority of a sacred text, which proclaims the word of a divine creator.”
• Believing, Bonding, Behaving, and Belonging (2011, background): “Orthodoxy cannot be thought outside established and structured groups; the emphasis is on beliefs as defined by the group’s authority and texts (Hood et al., 2005).”
